Crowning Moment of Awesome

Eagle Eye · 12-13-2009, 01:06 PM

"The moment when a someone does something for which they will be remembered forever, winning for them the eternal loyalty of fans"

I want to know what you consider the Crowning moment of awesome for your favorite team, or favorite player in any particular sport.

This goes for anyone as well, favorite player or not.

Let me hear em!

I'll give one, Eli Manning's 4th quarter performance in the Superbowl back after the 2007 season is his crowning moment of awesome IMO. Until that point, he was just Peyton's little brother who was too nonchalant to get anything done.

^Eli made one half of one play; the rest was all defense.

Anyway I'm going with Hakim Warrick's block in the '03 national title game or Kenny Nims' heads-up goal with 4 seconds to go in the '09 lacrosse national title game to tie it up. -CSM

My favorite sports moment is pretty much the entire 9th inning of the 2001 World Series with the Diamondbacks and the Yankees. The entire series was incredible, but to come from behind against Rivera was just incredible.

As a Kentuckian and boxing fan, I've gotta mention Muhammad Ali's victory against George Foreman (yes, that George Foreman) in the Rumble in the Jungle in 1974.

Leaning up against the ropes and just letting Foreman unload on him, Ali just deflected and absorbed his punches, letting the future grill salesman tire himself out, allowing for Ali to KO him in the 8th round.

The 2004 Pistons Championship run was pretty awesome. Also the last two Stanley Cup finals have been really good.

But I think the moment that sticks out in my head was a Pistons game a few years back where there were like two seconds left, and the other team had the ball. Chauncey Billups steals the ball and passes it to Rasheed Wallace, who makes a full-court shot to tie up the game. Pistons won in overtime. Probably the best game I've ever been at.

Even more awesome was that I was in a room full of people cheering for the Patriots who had just mocked me for saying "I believe in Eli Manning."

Another great crowning moment of awesome: Jarvis Cocker interrupting Michael Jackson's performance at the 1995 BRIT awards, where Jackson was portraying himself as a Christ figure.

My team and player loyalties aside, my favorite sports moment I ever saw live was the Statue of Liberty play for the 2-pt conversion in OT that put Boise State over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. Of course, I'm not sure if I liked that play better than the hook-and-ladder play that got them the touchdown in the first place, but it gets points for ending the game.

9th inning of the 2009 World Series, I am a Yankees fan at heart, and to see us at the top after 9 long years of disappointments feels really good.
